Everything's the same. Same clocks, same FAH Control version, same OS. Same same same.

Why, then, is my GPU PPD dropping by 10k points?

One other note: desktop behavior has been a little weird lately. Windows Aero dropping in and out of operation, soft-locks and clunky video performance. I fired up OCCT and EVGA's stability checker, lowered some clocks and tried a few hours of gaming, but the only issue I had was while running the FAH Control module. So I put clocks back to where they were and same deal; OCCT + OC Scanner + Gaming is hotter, but more stable than FAH Control. I thought it might be a bad project file, so I flushed and tried again. Instability is gone, but PPD is still WAY low.

I noticed the new (?) GPU WUs are very different, and dropped my ppd quite a bit... if you look at their point values, you'll see what I mean. Each WU will give you more points than before, but they take longer to complete. Overall, it's a drop in points for me.

2 things about these new WUs : - watch your temps, especially if overclocked (reports of 10 to 20 deg C rise !!!! )- update to a more recent set of drivers (ppd increase, no temp drop) ; the 280 series seems to work, I'll have to try and see.

Huh, it could be a downclocking issue. Are you seeing any drops in gpu clock rate? Might want to try to get afterburner running and see if something is going on with that. There's something of a known issue with gpus just automatically downclocking themselves for no particular reason. Here's a link: http://foldingforum.org/viewforum.php?f=59&sid=d9a428925e34c9c29c03c97afff8a76e, check the threads on 'Nvidia driver lottery' and 'gtx 460 slows down'. But it could also be the new gpu wus, I haven't done any gpu folding for a while so I haven't seen much about them.

Nope, no downclocking.... The only thing I noticed was 7xxx projects. And when I check my client performace, I do see 7620 and 7621 units that yielded 1500 points less per day than the regular WUs. Back to "normal" WU for now it seems...

warriorpoet, do you have a way to check the WUs you were working on when you noticed the drop ?
